Zhao Hanzhang was unexpectedly gentle, everyone felt her kindness, and she talked about the promotion path that the gate valve family wanted; She also opened the way for the little scholars to become a leader; The down-and-out Hanmen wanted to revitalize the family, and she also gave the conditions for support......

After a banquet, she hired Lu Heng as the imperial history, Jiang Feng, the head of the Jiang family, as a doctor of Taixue, and several talents who she was admitted to the school, either directly hired as officials or hired as Taixue students, so that they could continue their studies in Taixue.

After a calculation, it was found that the selected students were from the Jiangnan Gate, from the Xiaoshi clan, and from the remnants, which were also divided into families and down-and-out families, and even two students were from the Shu clan.

Smart people should be clear, Zhao Hanzhang does not particularly rely on a certain party, she prefers balance, and even the Shu clan takes it into account.

Although the opportunity is thinned, why not be their opportunity?

As soon as the thought came to mind, everyone's mental outlook was immediately different, with ruddy faces, clear eyes, and high morale.

King Langya sat stunned and watched, their mental outlook, he had only seen it when he began to appoint the Jiangnan Shi clan, but it quickly dissipated, because the contradiction between Jiangbei and Jiangnan Shi clan was very large, and the two sides inevitably fought, every time, no matter who he judged to lose, both sides were not very happy.

This fighting spirit slowly dissipated, and only mutual wariness and resentment remained.

King Langya clenched the wine glass in his hand, and his mouth came out faster than his brain, "General, there is a certain virtuous person who recommends it." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hanzhang leaned over with interest, "I don't know who it is?" ”

As soon as the words came out, King Langya regretted it, but Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with blazing eyes, and everyone also looked over, so he could only say: "My long history Diao Xie." ”

The gate valve families, including Zhou Xi, all had dark faces, even Director Wang was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at King Langya with uncertain eyes.

Diao Xie himself was also stunned, but he quickly reacted, and immediately got up and saluted King Langya, looking at him a little sadly, "Is the king going to abandon his ministers?" ”

Zhou Xi, who was sitting on the side, sneered, directly flicked his sleeves and walked to the side to look up at the plum tree, no longer looking at them.

Jiang Feng, Lu Yuan and the others also glanced at their faces, and they could see that they were very unwelcome to Diao Xie.

Although Director Wang did not leave the table, he also lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Zhao Hanzhang, as always, was not affected by Zhou Xi and others, and there was no change in her attitude, she asked Diao Xie, "Mr. Diao has been in Jiangnan for many years, and he should have experience in the governance of Jiangnan, what are the different opinions on the proposal just now?" ”

Before Diao Xie came, he knew how to find Zhao Hanzhang to show his talent, and King Langya recommended him in public, but he was not happy.

When King Langya returned to Luoyang, his future had been limited to a certain range, and he would either hang himself on a rope with King Langya, or find another way out.

If it was the former, he would not have come to this banquet, it was precisely because he wanted to seek a way out for Zhao Hanzhang that he came.

Since he came, he didn't want to take the road of King Langya anymore, otherwise when he entered the court, no matter how he tossed, he would be marked with the logo of King Langya, which was not a good thing for him.

It's not a good time.

Although it is not a good time, it can't be let go like this, so Diao Xieluo thought about it and said: "Yes, the general has a new life, and the people who settled down after the war can share the land equally. ”

"But they are not naturally landless, but have been calculated and lost by treacherous people, and now most of the land in Jiangnan is in the hands of dozens of families headed by Zhou Lujiang, Zhu Zhang, etc., and the remaining millions of people have to depend on these families to survive, so I asked the general to collect the land in Jiangnan and redistribute it."

Zhou Xi and the others were used to Diao Xie's audacity and shamelessness, but at this time, they couldn't help but be so angry that smoke rose above their heads.

Lu Yuan had the most explosive temper, turned around and rushed towards Diao Xie, raising his foot to kick him, "Shameless villain, my family's fields and property are all left by the ancestors, why should I redistribute them to you?" ”

Diao Xie sneered: "Left by the ancestors? Your Lu clan took advantage of the heavy taxation and military service, forced you to sell your land, and forcibly encircled sixty hectares of land outside Jiangning County, is this also the legacy of your ancestors? ”

"You are a villain, you like to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, what is forced to sell, I see that the people's livelihood is hard, they pay insufficient taxes, kindly lend them money and food, to your mouth, how good things can become bad things."

"Borrow? Hmph, since it was borrowed, how come their fields have been in your hands in less than a year? It's just a wolf dressed in sheep, and it is called borrowing, but in fact, it is stealing, it is robbing! ”

Lu Yuan was furious and was about to choke back, when Zhao Hanzhang suddenly spoke, "Okay, I have heard Mr. Diao's suggestion, so let's leave this matter as it for the time being." ”

Zhou Yu grabbed Lu Yuan, who was still arguing, and warned in a low voice: "Enough is enough, she is already annoyed." ”

Lu Yuan came back to his senses and went to see Zhao Hanzhang, and sure enough, he saw that there was no smile on her face.

But if this matter is not clear, the Lu family will leave a very bad impression on Zhao Hanzhang, and it will inevitably be unfavorable to the appearance of the Lu family's children.

Except for this small episode, this banquet was generally smooth and happy, and it was not until the evening that Zhao Hanzhang let them leave

Lu Yuan and the others were still a little unconscious when they were sent off, and couldn't help but ask the guards of the General's Mansion, "Aren't you allowed to drink and have fun after night in Luoyang?" ”

The guard looked inexplicable, "There is no such rule, but there is a curfew, as long as people don't walk on the street, it doesn't matter if they drink at home." ”

Lu Yuan: Who dares to care if Zhao Hanzhang can't do it?

The guard looked at the doubts on his face, instantly understood, and explained: "My general is self-disciplined, advocating frugality, and the banquet in the mansion never exceeds the hour. ”

And this time there are so many people attending the banquet, it is easy to breed malice in the night, and in order to prevent accidents, it is natural to end before dark.

These celebrities drank until dawn at every turn, and some people ate Wushisan when they got drunk, ripped off their clothes and ran around barefoot, wandering and rebellious, and the atmosphere of the Central Plains was reversed, and he didn't want these things to recur, so he reminded: "Even if we don't break the curfew, our general doesn't like the officials of the DPRK and China to drink excessively, and the most hated person who eats Wushisan." ”

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Wushisan can cure typhoid fever. ”

Qin Wei said: "Our general has mentioned it, but it is also said that most people who eat Wushi powder are not for harm, but for pleasure, and it will harm their lives. ”

Lu Yuan disagreed, "The reason why we can't get typhoid fever is because we have eaten Wushisan, looking at our age, we are far beyond the world, isn't this the credit of Wushisan?" ”

The guards didn't have a lip in his mouth, and he didn't know how to refute him, so he could only insist on Zhao Hanzhang's argument, "It's not right to eat Wushi San, it's harmful to life, it's harmful to the atmosphere, Lang Jun can't care if he eats in Jiangnan, but in Jiangbei, especially in Luoyang, no one is allowed to eat, and once discovered, all of them will be detained for questioning." ”

Lu Yuan's face is not very good-looking, he has been opposed one after another today, even if Diao Xie is forgotten, now a small lowly soldier can be attacked by him in public?

That is, in Luoyang, if it is in the south of the Yangtze River......

Jiang Feng and the others comforted and blocked on the side, and Lu Yuan barely suppressed the anger in his heart, flicked his sleeves, and left first.

Others also left

Zhao Hanzhang personally sent the three of Langya Wang's father and son to the carriage, leaving Diao Xie to speak.

Waiting for the carriage to leave, Zhao Hanzhang also withdrew his gaze to look at Lu Yuan and the others, and asked Diao Xie, "Is Mr. Diao willing to enter the court as an official?" ”

He was an official of the Great Jin Dynasty before, an official in Xuzhou, and fled to Jiangnan with King Langya.

It can be said that he was originally a Dajin official.

But once a son of heaven and a courtier, not to mention the relationship between King Langya and the court, and Zhao Hanzhang is a little complicated, if he still does the long history of King Langya, he will be blinded by Zhao Hanzhang here.

He's going to change positions, which is equivalent to starting all over again.

Diao Xieluo thought about it for a while and bowed down and said: "The minister is willing to serve the general, the Great Jin, and the people of the world." ”

Zhao Hanzhang bowed slightly: "Please go back and wait for the news with peace of mind." ”

Diao Xie suppressed the excitement in his heart, knowing that the words he said during the banquet had entered Zhao Hanzhang's heart, so he said, his understanding of Zhao Hanzhang would not be wrong.

Although they had never seen each other before, King Langya's opponent was Zhao Hanzhang, and as King Langya's henchman, Diao Xie naturally studied Zhao Hanzhang thoroughly.

If you can't see her with your own eyes and listen to her with your own ears, you can always get a glimpse of her words and deeds, her policies and guidelines for governing the country and the army, Luoyang's newspaper, and every public official letter in Jiangbei.

Zhao Hanzhang, like King Langya, also doesn't like to be controlled by the gate valve family, she likes to use the Hanmen family, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but attaches great importance to the interests of people's livelihood.

Looking at the people around her, it can be seen that except for a small number of children of the family, the middle and lower-level officials are basically the Hanmen Shu clan, and the upper-level officials include Ji Yuan, Ming Pre, Fu Tinghan and others that she commonly uses, and the rest are mostly the children of the Zhao family, which shows that they attach great importance to affection.

These seem to be advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious, as long as one side is lured, you can fight against the new Jiangnan gate lord family.

They and Zhao Hanzhang have no comradeship, nor have they experienced the hardships of war together, and it is difficult for the two to want to be harmonious!

He knows most about those wealthy families, those people are both proud and conceited, suspicious and serious, he doesn't believe it, Zhao Hanzhang can trust them wholeheartedly, and when the time comes......

Diao Xie has already planned in his heart how to climb up step by step with these things, he doesn't expect to be better than Ji Yuan and Ming Xuan, but at least he can be stronger than Wang Dao and Zhou Xi, right?

Zhou Xi and Director Wang were invited to the study alone to wait, knowing that Zhao Hanzhang was sending off guests, the two of them looked for books to read in the bookshelf.

Zhou Xi found many solitary books on the bookshelf, and there were five annotated volumes of the Analects alone, three of which were engraved in bamboo slips, which shows its preciousness.

Zhou Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Does the Wang family have such a large collection of books? ”

Wang Dao walked around, and secretly said in his heart: I have it, but it is the power of the family, seeing that Zhao Hanzhang easily put them into the study, obviously, the book here is not the Zhao family's collection, but Zhao Hanzhang's own collection.

Director Wang stroked the bookshelf and sighed: "In the battle of Luoyang, most of my Wang's collection of books was lost. ”

It refers to the fact that the king of the East China Sea led the gate valve families to flee Luoyang, when they were quite calm, Wang Yan brought all the books in the Wang family, before that, he also sent part of the collection to Xuzhou twice, the first time successfully arrived, the second time most of them were lost, and in the end only half of them were delivered.

And the largest collection of books that Wang Yan brought with him is no longer known, at that time, Wang Huifeng and Wang Yifeng were both under the hairpin ring, and they couldn't even hide a knife, let alone those books.

There are also many calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books in those boxes......

It's all gone.

Director Wang walked along the bookshelf, and when he came to the end was a step, he looked upstairs curiously, "I wonder if there is a collection of books upstairs?" ”

Zhou Xi encouraged him, "Go up and have a look." ”

Director Wang shook his head: "It's rude." ”

Zhou Xi looked down on him, pushed him away and walked up, "Since General Zhao invited us in, there should be no secrets here, twisting and pinching, like a woman." ”

Director Wang followed behind him and said, "Don't let General Zhao hear this, she is very decisive." ”

Zhou Xi shut up, stepped a few steps in a row, walked to the end of the stairs and looked up, and exclaimed, "This, this, this...... As vast as a sea of smoke, I dare to say, your Wang family's collection of books will not be as good as here! ”

Director Wang pushed him away and took a look, only to see that there were rows of bookshelves on the second floor, each layer of bookshelves was almost touching the top, and each shelf was neatly placed with paper books and bamboo slips.

There are four large porcelain jars in the corners of the four walls, and there are painting scrolls in the jars, although they are not opened, they are shocking enough.

The bookshelf and the bookshelves were separated by a wide road, and there was a word hanging on the wall facing them, and Director Wang walked forward in a daze, looking up at the words on it.

Zhou Xi followed and walked over, the light in the room was bright, and at a glance he could see a seal printed in the corner, "This is the word of Wang Taiwei?" ”

Wang Yan is a famous man, and his words are also very famous, I dare not say that it is difficult to find a thousand gold, at least it is not casually circulated.

Zhou Xi: "I heard that the relationship between the Duke of Zhao and the prince is not harmonious, I didn't expect the Zhao family to collect the words of the prince, and I have never heard that your brother gave the word to the prince, didn't your niece give this word?" ”

Director Wang said depressedly: "This character was given to me by my brother, but I didn't take it away when I left Luoyang in a hurry, and this character was left in a private house at that time, how could it be here?" ”

Zhou Xi didn't know it, but when he turned his head and saw a painting next to him, he leaned in to look at it, and couldn't help exclaiming, "This is Liu Bao's "Yunhan Tu", which is a genuine work." ”

Director Wang immediately ran over, stared at it with wide eyes and studied it for a while, and after confirming that it was genuine, he stomped his feet and said: "This painting is also my brother's collection of paintings, Liu Bao also has a "North Wind Map", which is hidden in the court, my brother has asked for rewards several times, but the palace is not allowed, he has always wanted to make up two paintings, but his wish has not been fulfilled, why is it that even the "Yunhan Map" is lost now?" ”

Zhou Xi said quietly: "Someone has fulfilled this wish for Wang Taiwei." ”

Director Wang turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Xi, and saw another picture hanging on the wall, and he felt cold at a glance,

In the past, I only heard that I felt hot when I saw "Yunhan Tu", and I felt cool when I saw "North Wind Tu", so as to describe the profundity of Liu Bao's painting skills.

But......

"Why is it in Zhao Hanzhang's hands?" At this time, Director Wang finally stopped politely calling her a general.

His heart was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

I hate that the master here is not myself.
